Construction work on Dubai Financial Market-listed Damac Properties’ Aykon, a mixed-use development is rapidly taking shape with China State Construction Engineering Corporation Middle East (CSCEC ME) carrying out building works under a series of packages already worth more than $270m (AED1bn).

The state-owned contractor has deployed biometric scanners on site for employee safety and security, and it is using a laser level to eradicate blockwork mistakes.

During the site visit Damac’s project manager for Aykon City, Naved Agha, told Construction Week that the slab cycle has been reduced from 10 days to six ensuring that the first two towers under Phase 1 will be completed in 2021.

In terms of progress, Damac is already two months ahead of schedule on the engineering work for Aykon City, Agha told Construction Week.

Construction work on Phase 1 of the project, comprising two of the four towers, namely Tower B and Tower C is currently underway.
With the Phase 1 expected to be completed by the end of 2021.

A timeline for the completion of Phase 2 of Aykon City, which includes Towers A and D is still to be announced.

Architecture firm Killa Design, the company behind Dubai’s Museum of the Future, has been involved in the early design stage for Phase 2 of the project.

While construction on Phase 1 started in May 2018 with work on Tower B, which will be a 246-metre-high hotel, civil works on Tower C began in August.

Tower B will feature 1,210 hotel residences, with lifestyle and wellness amenities including a gym and spa, an outdoor pool, and landscaping areas offering views of the city and Dubai Creek.

Covering a total built-up area of more than 167,000m2 the currently unnamed hotel will have two basements, 10 podium levels, and 53 floors.

On the other hand Tower C will be 232-metre tall and will home 968 residential units. The tower will cover an area spanning more than 167,000m2, with three basement levels, 49 floors, and 10 podiums.

Agha told Construction Week that the team on the ground – which includes Lacasca as the consultant – expected to top-out Towers B and C in 2020.

This Agha said will leave “plenty of time” for the completion of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) installations, fishing works, and interior fit-outs.

According to Agha, Damac’s in-house interior design team is already working alongside the construction teams on site to deliver what will be “stylish” homes and hotel residences.
